Guess what, this is already being utilized in San Diego! It’s not free care but a freaking insurance policy available for those who live on or very near the border. There are some excellent medical facilities over the border that caters to US citizens that are thousands of dollars cheaper.
It’s no different than Sarah Palin’s family utilizing Canadian healthcare because that was the closest and better health option available.
This is actually a CONSERVATIVE and FREE MARKET IDEA ! SEE I CAN POST IN CAPS TOO!!!!!!! It gives working people a choice in their health care options. Do you know how many old people do chartered tours across the border to get cheap medicine?
California? Sheesh. He is dumber than I even imagined. Perry is trying to copy California????? Yes he is Presidential material (roll eyes).
Read the Perry speech in the article. One of the things he’s seemingly advocating is providing Mexican citizens, living in Mexico, access to free telemedicine services at our expense. One of the “accomplishments” he’s touting is how much easier he made it to apply for and receive Medicare in Texas, and how much more money they’ve allocated for Medicare. He also goes on to advocate more spending on infrastructure for cross-border traffic.
Perry and his biggest supporters are all-in for increased social, economic, and political integration with Mexico. 75% of his fellow Americans are not. It’s a problem.
